Noise from outdoor equipment according to the Noise Directive 2000/14/EC
SMP Svensk Maskinprovning AB offers services to ensure that equipment meets the requirements of Directive 2000/14/EC on noise in the environment from equipment intended for outdoor use.
This is especially important for those of you who manufacture or import products covered by Article 12 of the directive. This means that the products are subject to limit values, and you as the manufacturer must engage a notified body to ensure compliance with the Noise Directive 2000/14/EC. Equipment and machinery covered by Article 13 are not subject to any limit requirements but are required to declare the noise value.
Deliveries
SMP, as a notified body, is authorized to carry out assessments and reviews according to the requirements of Annexes 6 and 7 of the directive. This means that you can engage SMP as a notified body, and after approval, we issue reports or certificates demonstrating compliance with Directive 2000/14/EC.
For information on how to engage us as a notified body and how we work with the certification process, see the contact person.
